Unparalleled Concubine

"General bullshit."

Mu Ying laughed, and said: "This general is not as happy as a captain of Habayashi Guard. After this matter is over, I'd better go to the capital with Lord Hou."

Li Xin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I'll talk about this later. In a short time, Brother Mu may not be able to leave Shu County."

The Hanzhou rebel army is not stable yet, and Li Xin is not at ease to hand it over to anyone, so Muying must be in the southwest to help Li Xin bring this rebel army together.

Mu Ying had no chance to return to the capital until there was another person in the southwest that Li Xin could trust.

But this time, Muying has made "a great contribution". He still has to go to the capital with Li Xin to receive a reward from the imperial court. "Rebels".

The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they chatted happily at the moment, but Mu Qing, who was next to him, had been staring at the General Pingnan's mansion in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time.

Li Xin noticed something wrong with Mu Qing, he looked back at Mu Qing in surprise, and asked with a smile, "Uncle Mu, what's wrong?"

Mu Qing was in a daze at first, but was awakened by Li Xin's words like a dream, he came back to his senses, bowed his head a little embarrassed and said: "I haven't returned to the old capital for a long time, I have lost my composure, Lord Hou forgive me."

Only then did Li Xin realize that Jincheng was the capital of the old Southern Shu, and it was once called the capital of Han.

More than 30 years ago, Jincheng was broken by Li Zhijie, and the Mu family escaped from Jincheng with the only surviving His Royal Highness King Min, and fled to Hanzhou.

At that time, Mu Ying hadn't been born yet, so naturally she didn't have any feelings for Jincheng, but Mu Qing was already in her teens at that time, and he grew up in Jincheng since he was a child. After a while, the old man is inevitably a little lost.

Lord Jing'an smiled.

"If Uncle Mu likes it, he will live back in Jincheng in the future. Now this place is up to us."

Mu Ying looked around, and said with a smile: "This place looks much better than Hanzhou, no wonder Dad has been thinking about this place."

The three of them walked towards General Pingnan's mansion while talking.

Mu Qingchang sighed, pointed to the Pingnan Army General's Mansion, and sighed: "Your Majesty does not know, this Pingnan General's Mansion is the former Mu Mansion, the place where the old man grew up. I haven't been back for many years."

As the capital of the old Southern Shu, Jincheng has a fixed layout, so it is difficult to rebuild a large siege city. The original Pingnan Hou Li Zhijie was relatively low-key, so he lived in the house of the old minister of Southern Shu. He chose one of them as his general's mansion.

At that time, the Mu family was the number one general in Southern Shu. Not to mention that the house was relatively close to the imperial palace, it was also big enough. More importantly, there was a school martial arts field in the backyard of the house, so Li Zhijie took the Mu family as a matter of course. He made it his own general's mansion.

At this moment, when Mu Qing saw her former residence again after decades, she would inevitably lose her composure.

But Muying didn't have so many emotions, he was born in Hanzhou and didn't have much affection for Jincheng.

After this dark-faced man entered General Pingnan's mansion, he looked around and clicked his tongue.

"From childhood to adulthood, I always thought that our family was relatively poor. I never thought that my family was richer before."

Li Xin was also quite emotional at first, after all, after decades of vicissitudes, after hearing Mu Ying's words, he gave him a helpless look.

"Brother Mu, don't talk too much, and be careful not to get beaten."

Chapter 589 Arranging the funeral

More than 30 years have passed, although the current Pingnan General's Mansion is generally not much different from the Mu Mansion back then, but many places inside are quite different from the former Mu Mansion. Mu Qing walked in this mansion, only I feel vaguely familiar, but more of them are unfamiliar, which makes the old man feel a lot of emotion.

But First Young Master Mu didn't have so many thoughts of hurting the spring and the autumn. He looked left and right in General Pingnan's mansion, and sighed from time to time, saying that he was born too late.

Indeed, when he was born, Nanshu no longer existed. Although the Mu family still had some strength, their living conditions were not the same as before. General Nan's Mansion is like a thatched cottage.

The three visited the General Pingnan's Mansion, and finally walked to the living room of the General's Mansion, where they were seated separately.

Of course, Li Xin took the main seat.

After Lord Jing'an took his seat, he smiled at Mu Qing who was sitting on the left and said, "Uncle Mu, according to my opinion, you will live in Jincheng from now on. You live in it, but I can decide to divide a part of this house for you to live in."

"As for Brother Mu, he will live in Hanzhou City to lead troops in the future. As long as Uncle Mu and Brother Mu do well, the Mu family should be the loudest voice in Shu County in the future."

Mu Qing was silent for a while, then lowered her head slightly: "Master Hou wants to be... the second Pingnanhou Mansion?"

Li Xin shook his head.

"The two generations of Marquis of the Pingnanhou Mansion both lived in the southwest. I am different. I want to live in the capital. To me, the Southwest can be capital or help, but it cannot be regarded as a lifeline."

Li Xin lowered his brows and said, "As for the one hundred thousand families of Nan Shu survivors who live in the southwest, Shu County is the lifeline for you."

"I just need the Mu family to help me when I need help."

Frankly speaking, although this Hanzhou rebel army was created by Li Xin, he controlled it indirectly, and his control over the Hanzhou rebel army was far inferior to that of the Mu family.

People's hearts will always change. Li Xin didn't expect the Mu family to be unconditionally loyal to him. He had certain expectations for the Hanzhou Rebels, but he didn't particularly rely on them.

That's why Li Xin said what he said just now. On the one hand, he said the ugly words first, and on the other hand, he also wanted to test these two people.

Mu Qing and Mu Ying exchanged glances, stood up one after another, and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"Master Hou trusts the Mu family so much, if the Mu family has a relationship, they are not worthy of being a human being."

The black-faced Mu Ying even lowered her eyebrows and said: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, don't dare to say anything else. As long as Mu Ying is alive, the Mu family will only look after you!"

Li Xin shook his head and said slowly: "These are all things to say later, don't rush to say them now, the situation in the Southwest has almost settled down now, if there are no accidents, I will leave for the capital in a while, before returning to the capital , I have something to explain to Uncle Mu and Brother Mu."

The father and son clasped their fists together.

"Your Majesty ordered."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "The Southwest Mu family can speak the loudest, and can even have the final say to a certain extent, but there is one point that you two must remember clearly. In any case, these things cannot be put on the table."

"Southwest is the southwest of the imperial court. If the Mu family wants to give Southwest the surname Mu, and wants to separate Southwest, the imperial court will still go west in the future. Do you understand?"

These words are the warning Li Xin left for the Mu family, and also the bottom line of the shackles he left for the Mu family in the southwest, that is, they can be real but not famous. hidden dangers.

The father and son looked at each other and bowed their heads.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou. The Mu family will only be the Mu family. We will help Lord Hou guard Hanzhou City. Outside of Hanzhou, the Mu family will not ask if they can."

Li Xin nodded with a smile.

"Uncle Mu will do as he sees fit. I trust the Mu family very much."

Li Xin suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, the Li family from Zhao County who entered Hanzhou City a few days ago didn't make trouble in Hanzhou City, did they?"

Mu Qing said: "After we received the letter from Lord Hou, we found a place to resettle them in the city. They left us a lot of property, saying that they had negotiated with Lord Hou. It was well preserved."

Lord Jing'an smiled, and said: "Those properties are indeed what I negotiated with them, but they are military expenses for the rebels in Hanzhou. The survivors of Southern Shu have been silent for decades, so it is impossible to have much property. These things Uncle Mu will use it to raise the army first, so as to give the Mu family some breathing room, so that the Mu family will not have to support tens of thousands of people now."

Raising an army is a waste of money. A state apparatus like the imperial court can’t support too many people, let alone a family like the Mu family. With the financial resources of the Mu family, it is estimated that it can support 5 people for a few months, and the family will have to pay for it. empty.

Mu Qing bowed her head deeply.

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for thinking of my Mu family so much."
